Ladbroke Grove Kiosk

Murad Qureshi: What is TfL doing about the removal of a derelict telephone kiosk on the side of the entrance to Ladbroke Grove tube station? It is situated almost under a bridge which unfortunately attracts a lot of rubbish and litter.

The Mayor: Transport for London (TfL) is aware of the issues with this telephone kiosk. Discussions are ongoing with the kiosk provider with the aim of removing the kiosk, and I have asked that TfL provides you with an update once further information is available.

Met Police Covid Funding Shortfall (2)

Unmesh Desai: Have you been advised how much the Met Police will receive from the £5.8billion announced as part of the funding to support public services as part of the government’s ‘winter economy plan’?

The Mayor: The MPS will receive funding for three separate areas to cover Covid-19 related costs:

Taxi Delicensing Fund

Keith Prince: How much remains of the taxi delicensing fund?

The Mayor: The taxi delicensing scheme supports taxi drivers who want to delicense older, more polluting vehicles. It has proven very popular and, as of 12 November 2020 £3,927,000 of the £42m fund remains available to vehicle owners who want to delicense older, more polluting vehicles or obtain a grant to convert their vehicle to operate on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG).

Police Driving Training

Unmesh Desai: How many hours of driving training do police officers who are authorised to drive police cars receive each year?

The Mayor: In accordance with the national driver training standards set by the College of Policing (CoP), all Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) officers that have been trained to be a police driver are required to complete 1 day (8hrs) of driving or rider training every 3 to 5 years depending on the level of driving classification. The exception is basic drivers who are not subject to further training.
Initial training varies by classification:

Operation Orochi Funding

Unmesh Desai: How much of the £5million being provided by the Home Office to support Operation Orochi is to be spent on County Lines activity occurring from and within London itself?

The Mayor: All of the £5 million funding for Operation Orochi will be spent on County Lines that operate from London, controlled by London based offenders, into many different counties across the UK.

Solar Generation at TfL sites (1)

Leonie Cooper: How many TfL sites have received delivery of solar generation units in the 2020/21 financial year? How many more are anticipated in this financial year?

The Mayor: Transport for London’s (TfL) new Train Modification Unit in Acton will be completed in 2020/21, with 200kWp of solar generation capacity. No further additional solar installations are anticipated in this financial year.
TfL is seeking alternative funding and delivery models to facilitate delivery of solar PV. As described in my response to Mayor's Question 2020/3298, it will be issuing a market sounding questionnaire this financial year to gauge the appetite for third party investment in solar PV.

Police Car Crashes

Unmesh Desai: How many Met Police cars were involved in accidents in each of the following years: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 to date?

The Mayor: The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) currently has 5,150 vehicles which drive over 52 million miles per year. The MPS systems record collision reports rather than the number of vehicles involved in accidents.
The report categories are:
It is not possible to separate out the categories and therefore the MPS cannot provide data for vehicles that have been involved in accidents.

Transparency on the cost of Silvertown Road Tunnel (2)

Caroline Russell: According to the annual accounts for 2019-20 for Transport for London (TfL), the Silvertown Road Tunnel contract will cost £65 million per year for 25 years. Now that the contract is signed and there is no risk to confidentiality, will you share TfL’s internal estimated cost for the contract for Silvertown Road Tunnel by year since the project plan began, and with brief notes explaining the increases? If this is a range, could you state the lower and upper bounds?

The Mayor: As I explained in my response to Mayor’s Question 2020/3249, the Silvertown Tunnel contract is a Design/Build/Finance/Maintain contract that will incur repayments from planned opening in 2025 for 25 years. I also explained that, while Transport for London (TfL) currently anticipates repayments will amount to around £65 million in the first year, the actual amount will vary depending on inflation and the performance of the contractor (Riverlinx). TfL has regularly reported the cost of the contract as the design and construction costs, to enable comparison with other projects on a like for like basis.
TfL’s estimate of these costs has been shared throughout the development of the project. As part of public consultations in 2012*1 and 2014*2 the estimated costs were £600m and £750m respectively. These costs were also all in 2010 prices and did not account for inflation. The £1bn estimate was first publicly shared as part of the 2015*3 public consultation. TfL reporting costs of c.£1bn has therefore been relatively consistent without material changes since this time.

Two-mile rule for free school travel

Caroline Pidgeon: Many young people and parents would welcome clarification concerning the proposed ‘2 mile rule’, if the under 18s free travel is scrapped due to an imposed policy by central Government. Can you confirm the two miles will be measured by ‘safe walking route’ and not ‘as the crow flies’? Could you also explain what calculation will be used to determine what is the shortest safe walking route from a child’s home to their school? Can you further confirm that, until a safe walking/cycling crossing has been constructed, Hammersmith Bridge will not be considered a possible walking route under these new rules?

The Mayor: As part of Transport for London’s second funding deal reached with the Government, I am pleased to confirm that the Government’s proposals to scrap free travel have been defeated, and that concessions for children aged under 18 remain in place.

Transport Commissioner’s engagements supporting active travel

Caroline Russell: The new Transport Commissioner for London, Andy Byford, has had several engagements across the transport network since his appointment. Has he visited any walking or cycling schemes, and if so please name them?

The Mayor: From the moment Andy Byford joined as Transport for London’s Commissioner, he wasted no time getting out across the entire network and meeting our hardworking staff. This has included meeting engineers at the Northern Line Extension, meeting Tube station staff as well as getting onto the cycle network with Walking and Cycling Commissioner, Will Norman, which included a looking at protected cycle routes on main roads, those on quieter back streets and a detailed briefing on the Santander Cycle scheme.

Met Police (3)

Shaun Bailey: How many front counters were there in London for each year from and including 2015/16 to the current year?

The Mayor: Please see my response to Mayor's Question 2020/3669.

TfL Bailout Meetings

Shaun Bailey: During the TfL bailout discussions between the GLA/TfL and DFT, how many meetings (virtual or otherwise) took place, on what date did they take place and which GLA/TfL representatives attended which meeting?

The Mayor: A number of meetings and discussions were held between Government and the GLA or TfL about the Transport for London (TfL) funding agreement, both at political and official level. The dates and GLA/TfL attendees are provided below:

TfL Transformation programme (4)

Alison Moore: Following the funding agreement with DfT and TfL’s emergency budget, please provide me with current figures for the Projected savings by year of Business Plan (net and gross)? Please provide separate figures for the procurement/operating model workstreams.

The Mayor: Transport for London’s (TfL) 2019 Business Plan sets out its latest savings plans over the long term. The TfL Budget for 2020/21 set out specific savings plans for 2020/21, where it increased its planned savings for this year from £133m to £193m.
TfL is currently in the process of updating its Business Plan. As part of this process, TfL will also be revising its savings targets for the years covered by the Plan. The published document will include an overview of savings included in the Plan.

U18 Zip card

Leonie Cooper: If the Government refuses to support the ZipCard for under-18s, how much will this cost Wandsworth and Merton?

The Mayor: As part of Transport for London’s second funding deal reached with the Government, concessions for children aged under 18 remain unchanged.

Police officer health

Tony Devenish: How many Met officers are classified as clinically obese, following the Met ordering 5,000 pairs of XL trousers? What are you doing to help officers improve their health?

The Mayor: The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) do not hold data on the number of officers classified as clinically obese. Waist size is not necessarily indicators of fitness, or the ability to carry out the role of a police officer.
The MPS recognises the importance of health and wellbeing and officers are encouraged to stay fit and live a healthy lifestyle. Officers undergo yearly fitness tests and complete Officer Safety Training (OST) to ensure they can carry out their duties safely and effectively. Support is available to prepare for fitness tests through Met fitness instructors, on-site gyms, gym discount schemes and sports clubs.

TfL Transformation programme (1)

Alison Moore: The TfL Business Plan 2016 sets out TfL’s plans for the five years from 2017/18 to 2021/22. It says, “The Transformation Programme will not only drive down costs but change the way TfL operates, keeping us on a solid and sustainable financial footing. It will deliver some £4bn in cost reductions; £2bn of savings from improving procurement and renegotiating contracts; £2bn of savings across the plan years from a new TfL operating model.” Can you provide details on what the costs of procurement/contracts and the operating model were in 2016/17 so we can see how a £2bn reduction in each affects the total spend at TfL?

The Mayor: Since its 2016 Business Plan, Transport for London (TfL) has made good progress on its savings plans. It has developed new savings plans for each successive business plan, and has delivered £747m of year-on-year savings from 2015/16 to 2018/19, with a further £211m forecast for 2019/20.
TfL no longer shows its savings programme based on an Op Model/ Procurement split. TfL also focuses its savings reporting on operating costs and presents this on a year-on-year basis. TfL has set this approach out in its Budget and Business Plan documents since the end of 2018.
The accompanying table shows a comparison between the 2016 Business Plan and what TfL has delivered up to the end of 2019/20. In summary, the 2016 Business Plan sets out plans for year-on-year savings of £541m from 2017/18 to the end of 2019/20. As part of its savings programme TfL has made almost £1bn of savings up to the end of 2019/20; and £790m from 2017/18 to the end of 2019/20.
The accompanying documents (‘Operating costs’ and ‘Savings comparison’) show savings delivered compared to the 2016 Business Plan as well as the operating costs from 2016/17.

TfL Transformation programme (3)

Alison Moore: Following MQ 2017/5125 can you please provide me with details of the Projected savings by year of Business Plan (net and gross) that were contained in the TfL Business Plan 2019? Please provide separate figures for the procurement/operating model workstreams.

The Mayor: As stated in my response to Mayor’s Question 2020/3511, Transport for London (TfL) no longer explicitly splits its savings programme between Operating Model and Procurement.
Gross year-on-year savings (before implementation costs including the costs of severance payments) of £722m were included in TfL’s 2019 Business Plan:
